Hey guys, so I just realize my RTD expires in April and u want to travel in May. What’s the likelihood of me getting it back by May? Any experience with renewing? This is my initial one and it took about 8 months.

Arriving in New Zealand: I flew from LAX to Auckland, using Air New Zealand. Encountered no issues in boarding. Previously, I had no issues with immigration. This time around, the immigration crew didn't know the RTD. So they had to go and check with their supervisor, came back 25min later and they let me in. Funny how people who work 8 hrs everyday as immigration officers, do not know the RTD. I thought these guys are supposed to be experts? Goes to show that in this life, the 'professionals' are often 'amateurs' actually.

The Return: With RTD + GC in hand, landed in Honolulu. No issues, they just let me in. Boarding Air Hawaii in NZ, so issues. The rep. didn't know how to enter my infor in the system, so I was sent to the supervisor. Quick process.

You apply for the Visa online. I had have gone to New Zealand twice in that last 12 months. I haven't had issues with them. You apply online, free of charge. Simple process. But still have to show valid reason for visiting, enough funding.

Hi
Thank you for sharing your experience. I also need to travel for the second time and I was worry before I read your message. is it ok if I travel 45 days for the second time? first time I traveled for 20 days. There is another question, do I need to wait to apply for a green card after one year or after 9 months from the day that I got grant asylum?
I would appreciate it your very kind help.
